In Looker, writer/director Michael Crichton examined the allure of advertising. Plastic surgeon Dr. Larry Roberts (Albert Finney) has been performing millimeter-specific procedures on models including Cindy Fairmont (Susan Dey).

Also, Marjorie Conrad gives us the scoop about her film, Chemical Cut and its Slam Dance premiere.

Catch the Excitement! Catch the Adventure! Catch the Hawk! Hudson Hawk, that is. Directed by Michael Lehmann, the 1991 Bruce Willis vanity project was considered by many at the time to be disaster.

Hey darlin’s, was Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls just awful dreck from the pen of Joe Eszterhas or a subversive masterpiece about the subjugation of women?  Guest co-hosts Dangerous Minds‘ Heather Drain and Red Letter Media‘s Jay Bauman debate the topic with Mike.

Oliver Stone’s Salvador stars James Woods as fast-talking journalist Richard Boyle and James Belushi as his friend, Doctor Rock. It’s kind of a “Fear and Loathing in Central America” with fewer drugs and more shooting of innocent bystanders.
